Part 2: Z City — Random alleyway: Night: 10:37 PM.

 

A peaceful night, a rare sight in this city where monsters hang out on every street corner.

 

Amidst all this calmness, a cat meows inside an alleyway as a way to communicate with one another that was above a store’s rooftop, as if trying to spread the word of something.

 

They directed all their noise towards an unknown blonde mature woman wearing some strange clothes. 

 

She was sitting in one of the darkest corners of the alleyway, with her back resting on a wall as her chest rose and fell, signing she was just taking a nap, even though said nap was not in the best of places…

 

After a few seconds, the intense sound coming from the stray cats reached a point of being loud enough to wake the woman up. Even inside the darkness, her violet flickering eyes shone while surveilling the area.

 

Finally, she focused her gaze on her own body, which, despite the darkness, didn't hinder her since she could now see remarkably well.

 

She was dressed in something similar to a long frilly dress with a long purple strip of decorated cloth with some drawings and a yin-yang drawing near the ending edge of the cloth. The cloth's length was just as long as her dress. 

 

Hidden beneath the dress was a pair of dark purple high heels.

 

The long blonde hair that ended in various red ties caught her eyes, and she played around with its bangs for a while before putting it aside for now.

 

 Feeling a slight weight on top of her head, she took off a frilly white hat that bore a big red, thin ribbon on its front. 

 

Huffing as if amazed she soon placed it back on her head before struggling an unnecessary amount to get up, oddly her back became awfully stiff after the Reincarnation. 

 

She puts the blame on the place the Fox Goddess who chose this place for her to appear, the hard ground must've been responsible… Well, she hoped it was that and not just one of Yukari’s ’Traits’.

 

“ Ouch, ouch!..... When did I ever become such a ha-… Hmm… I… better not finish such a statement…. It feels like for some reason, it would hurt my ego and pride…” - A very mature voice escapes her mouth, which does make the blonde surprised for a moment, before she proceeds to cough a few times and see if this was her actual tone of voice.

 

The lighting post resting by the entrance of the small alleyway suddenly starts to flicker while the woman clears her throat and makes some weird sounds, as if getting used to her own voice. 

 

After a short training section, she nods, looking back where she was sat by to see if she is missing something.

 

And that she was, a frilly white umbrella that matched her whole dressing code and a closed-hand fan having colors that match her dress were resting just beside where she had woken up. She wondered how come she didn't notice both at first.

 

‘’ Well then… * crack * - HUH?! ”- She was about to crouch down to grab it when a sudden short pain and snapping noise made her reconsider it, a part of her brain for some reason itched her to do something different. 

 

It wanted her to just imagine both objects moving to be right at the palm of her hands, and after a moment of thought, she remembered who she was.

 

A small smile was spread across her face as she moved a hand in a snapping movement, bringing to life a gap full of red eyes that swallowed both the fan and umbrella. Within a moment, another gap appeared by her hands and delivered the goods.

“ So these are my powers huuh~ If they can open gaps in anything like I remember, does it mean I can affect object’s physical bodies…”

 

Holding her umbrella in one hand, she aims her closed fan towards the flickering light post. In a moment a gap appears in the middle of the supporting beam, Yukari makes sure it moves just a few centimeters, so the gap would ‘eat’ a bit of it up before disappearing.

 

The woman’s grin became quite wicked once the post started falling sideways, pulling some wires until it was left hanging in the air. It was clean-cut down right in the middle, as if the sharpest blade had cut it.

 

“ This is a bigger weapon than I had first thought. Sure, I remember her shooting trains around, but the lethality I have…. I could just teleport their heart without them even realizing by opening a small gap inside themselves and then showing their hearts to them-…. Oops… I don't remember being this… playful. 

 

Maybe the traits the Goddesses mentioned are already influencing me more than I realized…  But who cares? - * smiles * - The changes don’t seem to deviate me off any personal goals. And It gets boring to stay exactly the same in two lives.”

 

Playing with her newly owned fan, she looks around, seeing that the place she had appeared had nothing that could entertain herself. Humming, she opened a gap inside a small rock by the side to test her precision, and just as she imagined, the small rock was parted in two.

 

She was not exactly cutting anything, but just stealing a very thin layer of their body inside the gap. As to what happened to that part that was absorbed inside it? She had no idea, maybe it simply disappeared or was kept just floating around its creepy vast insides.

 

‘ Now…. I think the best action to take would be to acquire more information about my surroundings, this is a mixed world so the knowledge I would have of both Verses is likely to have undergone some changes from what I remember originally…’

 

Having finished her small experiment, she opens the small fan, hiding her mouth as if it was second nature to herself to a point she questioned the level of muscle memory she had with the fan she was holding.

 

Twirling the umbrella, she took a step forward as a wide gap bigger than herself opened itself, all the eyes inside were fixated in the one entering as if asking for further instructions.

 

 The gap ‘ate’ Yukari for a whole, she didn't know where to go and so all she kept in mind was ‘ somewhere with people ‘ as she entered the gap.

 

‘ I wonder where I can find a place that sells some high-quality dango-.... Oh… Yeah, her original traits are indeed influencing me…. Anyway, maybe they would go along with a glass of beer? ‘
